Thanks, Rock. SR says to thank you, too, Both of us were disturbed that Petreaus would be involved with this. It looks like that floating finger of blame is pointing more and more toward the annointed one. Maybe he tried throwing the wrong people under that bus of his.

All of his people need to stop falling on their swords for Obama, I may think a lot of things about Hillary and it is no secret I do not like her, but I know if it was her decision she would not have stood and watched our ambassador being homosexually raped and murdered and not have done anything to stop it or in retaliation, if it had been up to her I don't think anything would have been left living for a 10 mile radius around where he was killed.

I have to agree. Hillary does not strike me as the type that would idly watch a US ambassador and Navy Seals be killed at the hands of Al Quaeda. I just don't/can't believe it. I think she has more hawkish views than her own husband. I can, however, believe Obama would make such a call. I can see him appease the very animals that most Americans hate. I think Obama was the biggest assault on American people, after 911.

Hannity had the father, Charles Wood, on his show. The dad repeated his feeling that something was fishy from the very beginning. He said that shaking Obama's hand was like shaking a dead fish. He said that he won't rest til he gets to the bottom of it. The father is a retired attorney.

Funny, but when Cindy Sheehan went off the deep end, the media couldn't get enough of her (until Bush was out of the White House, at which point she became very inconvenient), but let someone demand justice for a son killed on Obama's watch (and apparently as a result of his neglect) and they are nowhere to be seen.

Yes, I said it.

Hillary is indifferent to what happens to other people unless it will reflect badly on her, so she'd have probably taken action if she could have, but in this case, I don't know that she could have done anything. The Secretary of State doesn't control the DOD, the Commander-In-Chief does. If the White House held back the relief effort, then nobody else could have done anything.

This is why it makes no sense for her to be taking responsibility for this. To any thinking person she could not be responsible on any level, it just doesn't work.

She already did. The problam is, there is apparently no "fall". Can you imagine if this happened with President Bush???
The Libs would be storming the White House. With oBAMA...nothing. Except for Fox.

We don't have to imagine SR. All we have to do is look back at how the Libtards...en masse...claimed "Bush knew" about 9/11 and let it happen.

Remember the "what did he know and when did he know it" meme that was running around?

I find myself asking the same question...which seems more relevant to this situation...about President Obama.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks that the Joint Staff wasn't watching that in real time is clueless. CENTCOM had to be in the loop, and the White House couldn't have been out of it. They knew what was up in real time, and the buck stopped where it was supposed to stop, at the Commander in Chief.

I agree with your assertion about what needs to be awarded to those two men.

If it can be awarded to civilians, then they have certainly earned it.

It can't be, but there is a civilian equivalent. Can't remember what it's called off the top of my head.

In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

True. So what you do is give the school staff the power to stop whatever happens. If it's verbal teasing, you give them the power to tell the kids to stop it. If it's rock throwing, you give them the...
